Although they are synonymous with fear and psychopaths, serial killers have become a huge part of popular culture with their abnormal ways of thinking.

I’ve given you a Baseline grade that is viewable in Blackboard. Students have until 12/21/15 to implement suggested changes to their audio projects (see below for specific suggestions) for an updated grade. It is your responsibility to inform me that any changes have been made.

*A link to the original video needs to be embedded/linkable.
Overall, your use of music is effective, your edits are tight, the length right on point, and the sound-bites nicely selected.
